For two hours on Saturdays, people are invited to step back in time, thanks to the Lake Tahoe Historical Society.  This small, rustic cabin was built around 1933 by the Pomeroy family and originally was intended for a retired schoolteacher, Miss Mason, who rejected it as being too crude. It was then purchased by the Gruener Family for a summer home and used until 1968.

The cabin was then bought by the city and stood unused until 1970 when it was then opened as the Log Cabin Museum (the first photo is opening day). By 1983, the collection of all things Tahoe, quickly outgrew the small cabin.  In 1991, it was put on the back of a truck and moved to its current site, next to the bigger museum, and over the years this home has been completely furnished as it would have been when the Gruener Family summered there.

Today, the Pomeroy cabin is the least altered of any of the log cabin style structures built in the Tahoe Basin in the past century.  My volunteer position was to escort guests into the cabin.  What a glimpse into the memories of others who shared their childhood recollections while seeing all the incredible, historical artifacts.  It's a pretty special place to spend a Saturday afternoon.
